Med Center Shell and Core Build Lead to Interior Work

The facility is scheduled to open for patients in October.

PEORIA, AZ—Construction began in August 2015 on a 60,000-square-foot, build-to-suit facility, Harbor Vista Medical Commons , the new Cigna Medical Group Sun City multi-specialty center. The shell and core construction has been completed at 9069 W. Thunderbird Ave. and interior improvements for the medical facility  are now underway. The facility is scheduled to open for patients in October, with project development meeting Cigna’s schedule and budget requirements. “This exciting building embodies our focus working with leading healthcare organizations such as Cigna to deliver a functional platform geared towards delivering consolidated and comprehensive services to patients,” said Jason Anzalone , vice president of development at Irgens . “This is a great example of visionary healthcare strategy being executed and will be a major asset both to Peoria, as well as the entire Northwest Phoenix community.” Irgens acquired the property for the facility in 2014 and was awarded the contract in January 2015.  Archicon was secured as architect for the building and A.R. Mays was hired as the project contractor. “Irgens has been an excellent partner in developing a facility to enhance the health care experience for our customers today and for years to come,” said Edward Kim , president and general manager of Cigna in Arizona. “We appreciate the hard work and collaboration Irgens has provided to create a state-of-the-art facility.” This represents one of several medical developments created by Irgens in the Metro Phoenix marketplace. Irgens continues to actively seek strategic acquisition and development opportunities to add to its growing portfolio of commercial and medical development in Phoenix. Jason Meszaros , vice president and market manager for Irgens, tells GlobeSt.com: “Harbor Vista is a great example of what it means to have Irgens as a development and investment partner. We make it our business to know what it takes to be successful in any given real estate market and business sector, and we bring that knowledge, along with our financial strength, development expertise and investment experience, to our healthcare clients, such as Cigna, to succeed here in the Peoria marketplace and throughout North America.”
